So we held steady from Friday’s number of 843 apps, but as you may have seen from the Smartphone Round Robin videos posted last week and this week, that number is around double that in the Windows Mobile Marketplace. Of course, we’re still well behind the iPhone and Android app stores, and a few thousand behind BlackBerry App World, but then again Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein expects “several thousand” new apps with the release of the Ares development platform and the App Catalog’s emergence from beta. In the meantime, we’ve got a list of the updates, and it’s after the break for your perusal.

At this rate, we’re going to hit 1000 by year’s end, no problem. The problem may be the apps themselves, and it feels like an iTunes App Store problem: a bunch of apps with one very specific niche function, and a bunch of apps all with the same function. Yesterday’s apps were loaded with a very specific niche function: tracking the NFL and NHL teams of various cities.
